Sigma Labs Inc (SASI)

Today's announcement of the joint venture with Arête appears to bode well for Sigma.

Bill Herman's experience with Morris Industries and GE would seemingly affirm that GE has been pleased with Sigma's IPQA and that contracts and revenues, as expected, may soon be anticipated from that relationship.

The joint venture also appears to broaden SGLB's scope in that, in conjunction with Arête, it is now in position to offer full service to the burgeoning AM industry - not just quality assurance.

The establishment of the Arête-Sigma offices in the Cincinnati area also places the venture in the heartland of today's front runner (GE Aviation) in the AM field.

Since the announcement was made on the last day of the quarter, the particulars should be addressed in more detail in the quarterly report and
hopefully in a subsequent conference call to discuss the Q2 results.

All in all, I think this is a very positive step for SGLB and ultimately for its share price.
